Hello! I'm Stephanie

As a mama myself, I know all too well the anticipation, bittersweetness, and beauty of motherhood. I too have experienced firsthand the desire to document every big and tiny moment of my daughter’s life, all while savoring the way I feel in that moment and in that season of my life.

And I’d be honored to do just that for you.

By providing an effortless photography experience that pampers you, the hard-working and busy mom who is all too familiar with the passage of time, it’s my goal to ensure that you don’t miss capturing the fleeting milestones of your children’s life and your experience as a mother.

I was so impressed with her warmth and attention to detail

- rachel s.

"From the moment we met it was very apparent Stephanie has a true passion for photography. I was so impressed with her warmth and attention to detail during our sons newborn shoot.I wasn’t sure at first how I felt about an in home session versus a studio. After meeting with Stephanie and hearing her talk about how she likes to capture real life moments in the home....I knew she would be a perfect fit! She certainly did not disappoint. We adore the sweet pictures that she took. I would definitely recommend Stephanie for all your photography needs."
